What

Snake wasn't genetically modified! He was a clone! Christ, he had the inferior genes from Big Boss! Having all of the proper soldier genes doens't mean much when he got the short en of the stick! Even with mappign of the human genome, active changing of that genome without some kind of template is impossible without some kind of map to imprint on them. That's why Big Boss is so important - his genes were still better than Snake's.

Snake isn't "perfect" in that sense, he just has the vast majority of the soldier genes. Chief has a few extra bags of tricks.

No, Snake does not win either way. He is not only not physically in the same league as Master Chief, he is also not from the Halo universe.

Look, if you want to say "If you took away everything that makes Master Chief who he is, and made him just some nonrmal guy, and pretended that he wouldn't naturally grow into a mountain of a man who could fight Bruce Lee with one hand, then Solid Snake could fight him," fine, I'm going to stop arguing with you, bu that's not the question here. The question is simple:

Who would win in a fight, given the same equipment: Master Chief or Solid Snake?

The answer is Master Chief.

If we are taking age into account, all Master Chief has to do is be put into Cryosleep, and Snake will die off from old age.

Not sure if that is an option. 

A Young Snake vs Master Chief, without power suits, man-on-man, I would go with Snake, because he would do something stealthy and take out the Chief.

Ok, my mind just turned Master Chief into "Master Chef" and I am now wondering who would win in a cook-off.  Maybe we can go with an egg cooking contest. 

Know what? if they are modded etc etc etc. They are the same exact god damn things. SNAKE IS MASTER CHIEF



simple as that.Master cheif is snake etc etc. Snake was frozen for a couple hundred years and taken to the halo universe where he was altered etc etc. there you go. neither can win. they are the same person. now maybe i have a reason to like halo

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!

and yet you like MGS which has vampires, clones, biological women transformed into robots, and Raiden being rebuilt super ninja and all that stuff? Um....sounds like someone isn't making much sense.  Both are VERY far from being "realistic" 

I love vampires. and MGS4 Isn't an FPS its an action adventure stealth game. I prefer realistic shooters to ones like halo. Also MGS4 is more based in the real world then halo is right?

Can I take that as an acquiescence?

Basically, neither can win.If snake was in the halo world he would be the same as master chief. if master chief was in the MGS world he would be a lawyer(lol) but no really he would be a great soldier also. That being said. Snake is cooler and he can crawly through microwaves? Thats the fucking shit right there.

It's obvious only one or two people even know Halo canon in this thread. Most people seem to think the chief is just an ordinary man in a suite, they have no idea the borderline torture levels of training he went through since he was six. How he was picked out of a population of over 12 billion for having the most perfect genes. How even before his augmentations he could take down entire platoons of ODST's. How he was trained every day by a super intelligent AI in every possible aspect of the art of war. How is augmentations make his bones stronger than steel, and his muscles capable of lifting things 50 times greater than the strongest man. How his reaction speed is 20 times faster than any humans, so fast he can punch missiles out of the sky. Or even how his suit is so powerfull that it amplifies every single body movement a thousand fold so if any other human wore it he would kill himself if he even tried to move a finger. A suite that amplifies his already monsterous strength 10 fold and merges his thoughts and actions into one making his movement impersceptible to even the keenest eyes.

lol sorry I got a little carried away but you get my point, solid snake is badass but honestly I doubt he could break the chiefs neck even if the chief stood still all day.

Oh and I forgot one more thing, Chief jumped out of a pelican over a kilometer in the air, landed and survived. I mean common thats just insane.
